Sida has supported AIT since 1988 focussing on capacity building, environment and poverty related issues. The present evaluation covers three sub-programmes (the Aqua Outreach, Electric Power Ssystems Management and Scholarships Programmes) and core AIT funding. The AIT-Sida co-operation has been found highly relevant. However, the study concludes that a continuation would demand a more precise formulation and include a closer monitoring of key impact indicators. There are also overlaps and poor communications between donors and institutions, particularly within AOP, that need attention.pages:46
